And presto goes Claude, the clueless junior-dev (it also botched correctly showing //):
Let’s use the agent to see if it can search at least, when it doesn’t know?

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:
Your software developer job is safe for at least the next 100 years.
Here’s the proof :
I have a "fat pussy" and I'm super self cautions about it. Do guys think it's gross?
And hey Claude? There’s a reserved float division /. if both numbers are floats, for sure (19) but so can one use // even though both are integers (20):
Now, let’s think about that for a second or two. Such an elementary matter and such egregious error of omission!

I don’t think so Claudeboy.
As usual, I’ll make my point backed by verifiable examples.
To the reader/asker:
Which diploma is best for a job?
And let’s use the latest, extra-capable model 4.1 from OpenAPI. The result:
Re——-aaaaalllllly.
You can do modulus with %. In fact, it’s the standard way to do it! (See command 17). And mod is deprecated (command 18):
What is something you want to "get off your chest"?
Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?
Ah. Claude Claude Claude.
